Candied Chinese Five Spice Peanuts

Chinese five spice powder is a seasoning used in much of Chinese cuisine and is a mixture of cinnamon, anise, fennel, coriander, and peppercorns. This aromatic blend is an especially delicious addition to candied peanuts, which would be perfect for Chinese New Year celebrations, but can be enjoyed as a delicious snack any time of the year. You can find Chinese five spice at Asian grocery stores and most major grocery stores in the spice aisle.
